Inner thighs/groin

Hi ladies!
Don't really post or comment I'm more a reader of posts... But was wondering if anyone knows or can help?

I'm having very uncomfortable inner thigh/groin pain. It's like I've pulled a muscle, done the splits without stretching or pulled my groin! That type of feeling, but I've not done anything I'm aware of to cause the soreness.

Hey there! I hope the soreness is better now. I've been suffering from a similar pain since 33 weeks or so. I think it's cuz the baby's head is engaged fully. Gets worse after I walk a lot and feels very sore in the mornings. I just massaged my inner thighs with ibuprofen gel, gave me some relief but the pain won't completely go :(

Snap I've been suffering with what feels like a pulled muscle in my groin top of my leg its uncomfortable when I try and raise my legs up especially my left leg to keep my feet elevated cause I get swollen feet and legs again I think its because junior is head down in my pelvis already engaged ready to go and my muscles are trying to support that extra weight. Up at the moment with horrendous indigestion my own fault had filo pastry parcels for dinner.

I got this, really early on though. Was worse every time I pushed buggy, trolley etc. it's since calmed down though. I put it down to the extra weight that I'm carrying, more strain on the muscles and the muscles behaving differently due to the hormones etc.

Ladies it sounds more like SPD than pain caused by head being fully engaged (though obviously this could be the case).

I'd speak to your midwife and see what she suggests.

I've been suffering for a while but there are certain things you could do to ease the pain. Avoid stairs where possible, sleep with your knees together supported by a pillow, avoid opening your legs to get in and out of cars (sit down first then twist yourself round) don't stand for long periods, avoid picking up anything heavy.... My SPD has been a little more manageable since living by those rules!!

Thanks ladies!!! Glad I'm
Not the only one! I'm still working so maybe that's part of it too! Thanks for all the advise!

Also getting a 'pins and needles' feeling down my left side from my back to my bum! Wonder if this is linked or something new!

Your 4-year-old: games and puzzles

Some four year olds spend noticeably more time with games and puzzles than they would have a year ago. They get up from their play less often and can become so engrossed that you end up having to interrupt them. Read More
